...and here's Dave (who also trained at Warton) with a pint in The NAAFI!

After his medical training, he was posted to RAF Ruislip, where he eventually graduated to Nursing Attendant 1st Class. (spot the deliberate mistake!)

Here. he also arranged dances, which he called 'Hops', (probably one of the first 'Discos'), Variety Shows, and he ran The Station radio, with a weekly record request show. he called this 'After The Bull', as it happened to fall on Tuesdays, which was 'Bull Night'.

He also designed posters for special events, such as Station dances, Sports Day, The Officers' Christmas party, and recruitment...
